Sorry for the lateness of the post. Between
flying cross-country, reverse-jet lag, and nervously watching through three
dead-even quarters until the Lakers finally put away the troublesome (and
increasingly loathsome) Denver Nuggets, it was difficult putting down any
serious thoughts. But maybe that’s because this record, an 80s new-wave
nugget of its own, defies serious contemplation...

I admit, Australian Shiraz has never been one
of my “go to,” wines. I've even been known to be downright snobby
about it. Unfortunately, many of the Aussie wines we see on a regular basis
are cheap, mass produced and of sub-par quality. Some of these wineries seem
to spend too much time on marketing research to decide which cute and fuzzy
animal to put on the label, and not enough time worrying about making good
wine...
